Example 4. 2 – Sol. For the circuit in Fig. 4. 6(b), if we assume that both diodes are conducting, then VB = 0 and V = 0. The current in D 2 is obtained from The node equation at B is which yields I = − 1 m. A. Since this is not possible, our original assumption is not correct. We start again, assuming that D 1 is off and D 2 is on.

A string of three diodes is used to provide a constant voltage of 2. 1 V. • Q: What is the change in this regulated voltage caused by (a) a +/- 10% change in supply voltage and (b) connection of 1 k. Ohm load resistor. Figure 4. 15: Circuit for Example 4. 6. 11/30/2020 63
Example 4. 6: Diode-Based Voltage Regulator Thus, This resistance, along with the resistance R, forms a voltage divider whose ratio can be used to calculate the change in output voltage due to a ± 10% (i. e. ± 1 V) change in supply voltage. Thus the peak-to-peak change in output voltage will be That is, corresponding to the ± 1 -V (± 10%) change in supply voltage, the output voltage will change by ± 9. 5 m. V or ± 0. 5%. Since this implies a change of about ± 3. 2 m. V per diode, our use of the small signal model is justified. 11/30/2020 64
Example 4. 6: Diode-Based Voltage Regulator When a load resistance of 1 kΩ is connected across the diode string, it draws a current of approximately 2. 1 m. A. Thus the current in the diodes decreases by 2. 1 m. A, resulting in a decrease in voltage across the diode string given by 11/30/2020 65

EXERCISE 4. 14 11/30/2020 67
Summary (1) • In the forward direction, the ideal diode conducts any current forced by the external circuit while displaying a zero-voltage drop. The ideal diode does not conduct in reverse direction; any applied voltage appears as reverse bias across the diode. • The unidirectional current flow property makes the diode useful in the design of rectifier circuits. • The forward conduction of practical silicon-junction diodes is accurately characterized by the relationship i = ISe. V/VT. 11/30/2020 71
Summary (2) • A silicon diode conducts a negligible current until the forward voltage is at least 0. 5 V. Then, the current increases rapidly with the voltage drop increasing by 60 m. V for every decade of current change. • In the reverse direction, a silicon diode conducts a current on the order of 10 -9 A. This current is much greater than IS and increases with the magnitude of reverse voltage. 11/30/2020 72
Summary (3) • Beyond a certain value of reverse voltage (that depends on the diode itself), breakdown occurs and current increases rapidly with a small corresponding increase in voltage. • Diodes designed to operate in the breakdown region are called zener diodes. They are employed in the design of voltage regulators whose function is to provide a constant dc voltage that varies little with variations in power supply voltage and / or load current. 11/30/2020 73
Summary (4) • In many applications, a conducting diode is modeled as having a constant voltage drop – usually with value of approximately 0. 7 V. • A diode biased to operate at a dc current ID has small signal resistance rd = VT/ID. • Rectifiers covert ac voltage into unipolar voltages. Half-wave rectifiers do this by passing the voltage in half of each cycle and blocking the oppositepolarity voltage in the other half of the cycle. 11/30/2020 74
